Many tourism companies in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are organising tours to watch the second leg of the semi-final match of the AFF Cup between Vietnam and Singapore at prices of around USD 500 per person.
For example, Vietravel in Ho Chi Minh City is offering a four-day tour, departing Vietnam on December 20th for Singapore, including tickets to watch the football match on December 21st.
As part of the tours, tourists will be given national flags, ribbons and head bands, all in the traditional red colour, to support the Vietnamese team.
Moreover, tourists can bring other things, such as drums and horns to show their support.
Vietravel has purchased good seats at the stadium in Singapore for fans, and the price for their tour is USD 499 per person.
Meanwhile, in Hanoi, Vietran Tour has also organised a visiting tour to watch the football match. Moreover, tourists on its trip will also have time to visit other famous places in Singapore during their four-day tour.
Le Tien, a football fan in Hanoi said that the Singapore team had a greater advantage than Vietnam’s because they were playing the second leg in their own country.
“My company has given me some bonus and I want to take my family to visit Singapore and watch the match,” Tien said.
More than 100 Vietnamese football fans made their way to Thailand to support the national team despite the political chaos in Bangkok.
The Vietnam National Football Team’s match with Singapore in the first leg of the semi-final at My Dinh stadium in Hanoi last night ended in a scoreless draw.
